    Not long after, Shiina congratulated and Tsuruta's documents were processed.

    Furukawada also received the money. Looking at the two people's confused looks, he said: "Come with me, I will sell you here, and I will be your guide."

    "Captain, shouldn't we be arranged to be house slaves in some adult's mansion? What should we do now?"

    "Find your own jobs, no one will arrange jobs for you. As for your wife Tsuruta, because she is pregnant, she does not have to work and can receive a nutritional subsidy of five taels of silver every month."

    "What? My wife is pregnant with a child, and people from Edo City still give my wife money?"

    "Anyway, this is the rule here."

    “Then if my wife keeps giving birth, won’t she be able to keep receiving subsidies?”

    "Yes, of course, but the expenses for children are huge, and the subsidy you receive is not enough for you to raise a child. Although children before the age of twelve are also provided with some subsidy, most of it is for you.  If you pay for it yourself, if you let your wife keep having children just for the subsidy, it is not worth the gain. "

    "Then about my work"

    "Nowadays, there are recruitment notices everywhere in Edo Castle. As long as you work hard, you will never have to worry about finding a job, and the salary can basically reach the maximum salary of the Japanese."

    "What's the maximum salary for Japanese people? How much can they get?"

    "The monthly salary is generally around fifteen taels."

    "Fifteen taels?" Shiina congratulated with a face filled with astonishment: "How could someone pay me fifteen taels of silver? You can't make that much money even if you commit murder and arson, right?"

    "This is still a small amount. If you are a Han, you can get 20 taels of silver for the same job. And the Han people don't have a maximum salary. You can get whatever salary you do. Some Han people's salaries are ridiculously high. Tell me.  I don’t believe it.”

    Furukawada waved his hand: "Follow me, I will take you to where you live."

    “Captain, have you helped me find a place to live?”

    "I didn't find it for you, it was arranged by the city government. New Japanese people will be assigned a place to live, and the conditions are average." Furukawada said.

    Not long after, Furukawada brought the couple to a simple apartment building.

    "Did the people at the city hall just give you two four cards each?"

    "Oh, yes."

    “This is a temporary ID card, this is the bank card bound to your identity, this is your apartment door card, and this is a transportation card to make it easier for you to travel and take the bus.”

    Furukawada took Shiina’s apartment key card and swiped it in front of the apartment lobby, and the door opened.

    "Do you understand? You just need to use this card to swipe here to open it. It has the door number of your apartment on it."

    Furukawada took the two of them to the thirteenth floor, where they were assigned an apartment.

    This apartment is very simple, but it is fully equipped with two single rooms, a living room and a dining room that are not large, and a kitchen and a bathroom. The total area may only be 50 square meters, but for the two of them, such an environment  It was beyond their imagination.

    "Thishow much does it cost to live here for a month?" Shiina Zhihe looked at Furukawada worriedly.

    He is worried that the rent here is too expensive. After all, they are now penniless and they don’t even have a job. If they can’t find a job, he can’t even imagine what will happen if they can’t afford the rent.

    "This kind of house does not require rent. Only newly arrived Japanese people like you will be amazed. Even Han people are not willing to live in this kind of house." Furukawa curled his lips and said disapprovingly.

    "You don't need rent? Just give it to us?"

    "Of course it's not for you, it's lent to you. Everything here belongs to the Edo City Government. You have never seen good houses. The houses where Han people live are not small apartments like this."

    Furukawada can also understand that people who have never seen it must not be able to imagine it. With their experience, the best they can think of is a small apartment like this.

    But Furukawada is a man who has seen the world, so he has higher pursuits, so he works so hard to make money.

    Furukawada explained to them some common sense of life, such as how to use certain electrical appliances.

    The two of them finally understood how good Edo Castle was said by the businessmen who passed by in the past. Now they can finally understand it.

    In Furukawada’s eyes, a house with an ordinary environment is like paradise in their eyes.

    After the joy, Shiina congratulated and looked at Furukawada sheepishly: "Captain, since you are so familiar with this place, why don't you take me"??Get a job.  "

    "That's okay. I'll tell you some of the rules of Edo Castle by the way, so that you don't violate any taboos."

    "What other taboos are there in Edo Castle?"

    "You can say something bad about Emperor Wu Tang, but you can't say that you are against Wu Tang's rule. Edo City now belongs to Wu Tang. If you say such things, you will probably be in big trouble. Such words  It’s absolutely not allowed to be said.”

    "You can't even talk about the emperor, as that will lead to beheading."

    "That's not true. Emperor Wutang himself said it. If there is anything she doesn't do well, just say it. No one can be perfect. She also has many shortcomings and shortcomings. As long as you are not too idle and wanton.  Nonsense, no one will care about you."

    “One more thing, you don’t have the official Han identity card yet. You are all still Japanese. Don’t leave bad records. Once you have bad records, it will be much more difficult to apply for a Han identity card in the future.”

    "We don't have bad habits." Shiina Zhihe said quickly.

    “There is no best, just try to be diligent at work. If you do well and your boss says a few nice things to you, you will get a lot of extra points when you apply.”

    "Is there such a thing here?"

    "That's for sure. It's like saying a wealthy family is recruiting attendants. Do you think that wealthy family wants someone who is hard-working and willing to work, or someone who is a layabout? The same applies to the application of the Han people in Wutang."

    "No, no, our Shiina is the most willing to do it, right, Shiina."

    "Yes, I promise not to be lazy."

    "It won't be the best. You don't have to tell me about this. I'm not your boss."

    "One more thing, you should learn Wutang Chinese as soon as possible. Basic communication will be no problem. This will help your future. It would be better if you can learn Chinese characters."

    "We are all servants, why should we learn Chinese characters? Only adults can learn Chinese characters."

    "Don't talk nonsense. As long as you are willing to learn, there is nothing you can't learn. Besides, if you become Han people in the future, there will be no such thing as servants."

    Furukawa took the two of them onto a bus again: "You can use this card to swipe it here, or insert coins. This is the purpose of your transportation card."

    "It's really convenient. It doesn't cost anything to take the bus."

    "It's not that there is no money, the city hall will advance it for you. There is no free lunch in this world."

    "Huh? Then we have to pay it back in the future?"

    "You don't need to pay it back in cash. When you become Han Chinese, you will need to take a few days to do volunteer work."

    "What is a volunteer?"

    "Look, look at the person sitting over there. He is a volunteer. There are many types of volunteers. Anyway, they are just some small things. You are asked to do this job for a few days and you are not paid, such as guiding someone.  Traffic on some streets, such as cleaning parks and community streets.”

    "What if you don't do it?"

    "Before you get an ID card, as long as you have lived in a small apartment, used a bus card, or used a subsidy, you must do volunteer work. Only after you do it can you get an ID card, unless you don't want a Han ID card.  Otherwise, you have to do it, and when you become a real Han, you can truly do it voluntarily. If you are willing to do charity, you can do it. If you don’t want to, you will not be forced to do it. "

    "The rules of the Han people are really strange."

    "You don't understand." Furukawada smiled and shook his head: "This is the brilliance of Wutang. Of course, there are also many Han people who do volunteer work. For example, if they violate certain laws, they may do minor things.  If he doesn't go to jail, the government will decide how many days he has to serve as a volunteer."

    Furukawada led the two of them to a job fair, where many people were coming and going.

    Shiina Zhihe could tell that most of the people were Japanese like him.

    "How much Chinese do you know?"

    "I know a few words."

    “Learn basic communication as soon as possible and communicate in Chinese whether outside or at home. This can speed up learning.”

    "okay……"

    "Your current level of Chinese is too poor and you are not suitable for a service job. Just become a porter. There are just port porters recruiting there."

    Furukawada brought Shiina Zhihe to the interviewer and explained his situation on behalf of Shiina Zhihe.

    The interviewer looked at Shiina up and down a few times and congratulated her, and then said: "What we at Edo Port need are hard-working workers. Is this guy hard-working enough?"

    "Definitely"??This guy used to be a poor man and lived a hard life, so he was very diligent.  "Furukawada said congratulating Shiina.

    "Okay, okay. The probation period is one month, and the monthly salary is 10 taels of silver. After the expiration of the period, if there are no problems, you can become a regular employee. The salary is 12 taels of silver, with subsidies for two meals and transportation expenses. You work four hours a day. If you work more than four hours, you will get overtime pay.  "This is a contract. Tell him about it. If you have any questions, ask them. If you have no questions, sign it. You can use Chinese characters or Japanese characters. If you can't read, just press your thumbprint."

    Furukawada explained the situation to Shiina Chihe, who nodded repeatedly without even thinking about it.

    In his opinion, this condition is simply too good to say anything about.

    Of course, in Furukawada’s eyes, this treatment is just average.

    But after all, he is just a guide, and it is Shiina Zhihe who makes the decision.

    After Shiina Zhihe pressed his fingerprints, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally found a job, and this job was very satisfying to him.

    Isn't it just a coolie? It's not like he has never done coolie work before, but when he works as a coolie in other places, he only has three pitiful steamed buns and a bowl of wild grass porridge a day, but here he can get such a high salary, which is something he never dreamed of.  of.

    Furukawada then said goodbye to the couple. Shiina congratulated him and was taken to the port on the same day. However, after arriving at the port, he suddenly discovered that working as a porter here was completely different from the coolie he imagined.
